Multirotor drones may one day be able recharge their batteries while out and about, instead of having to return to a charging station. They could do so via onboard ultra-thin solar cells, which have already been tested on a small quadcopter.

Among other things, mushrooms have been put forth as eco-friendly alternatives to leather and expanded foam packaging. According to a new study, they might also find use in biodegradable electronic devices.

Researchers from the Johannes Kepler University Linz in Austria have created a flat, flexible and transparent imaging device that could be used in gesture-controlled electronic displays.
